Group seeks to fill Homeland Security spot

The NJ Secure Corps assists counties to develop Voluntary
Organizations Active in Disasters (VOADs or COADs), whose mission
is to bring together disaster relief organizations and to foster
more effective service to people affected by disaster. The
AmeriCorps members will work at the county level to assist in
development and staffing of the VOADs, will assist county offices
of Emergency Management with training initiatives, organize
education and outreach programs regarding disaster planning and
public health preparedness, and will provide guidance on volunteer
and donations management. The initiative will also assist in the
development and maintenance of a statewide database and
communications mechanism. People of all ages and backgrounds are
being sought, particularly individuals who have background in
national and international service, disaster preparedness,
emergency response, community organizing, health care, volunteer
management, technology and public safety. For further information
